Chain-of-Identity Equipment Workload with coi verification equipment connected load of 3 kW: a worked example

This scenario runs the chain-of-identity equipment workload calculation on the strong side: coi verification equipment connected load of 3 kW, with every other input held at its documented default. a cell therapy operations team is estimating the equipment burden of chain-of-identity verification across patient batches

The inputs for this scenario

  • COI verification equipment connected load: 3 kW (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 1.2)
  • COI equipment operating time: 220 hr (unchanged)
  • Blended facility electricity rate: 0.16 $ / kWh (unchanged)
  • Patient batches or COI transactions supported: 120 transactions (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (COI equipment operating cost = verification equipment connected load × operating time × electricity rate) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 106 $ energy for coi equipment operating cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 660 kWh for coi equipment energy used.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 0.88 $ / transaction for coi equipment cost per transaction.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 0.48 $ / hr for hourly coi equipment energy cost.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where coi verification equipment connected load sits at 1.2 kW and the headline result is 42.24 $ energy, this scenario comes in 150% above the baseline at 106 $ energy.
  • Use it when allocating IT and utility overhead to per-patient cost of goods or sizing UPS coverage for COI-critical equipment. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance

  • COI equipment operating cost: 106 $ energy (headline result)
  • COI equipment energy used: 660 kWh
  • COI equipment cost per transaction: 0.88 $ / transaction
  • Hourly COI equipment energy cost: 0.48 $ / hr
